What would be the cost of acquiring Tage Thompson out of Buffalo? Would he even be available?

24 years old
Former first round pick (26th overall in 2016)
6’7” right winger/center that skates very well.
Producing well this year on a bad team with 14 goals and 14 assists in 39 games.
Small cap hit ($1.3 million) and signed till end of next year when he’ll be an RFA.

I think all those have the makings for a decent target. Especially for playoffs. And it shouldn’t prevent the flames from signing Gaudreau and Tkachuk in the offseason.

Again, I have no idea if he’s even available and no idea what the cost would be. Haven’t watched many Sabres games this year but when I have, he does stand out with his skating, size, and skill. Plus he’s an American which fits with the American/Swedish theme the flames have going on.

Anyone with better insight on this player and the sabres would probably know better than I do if he is even worth acquiring or if the would cost too much.
